K3S master power?

Is there a K3S setting that will power on the P3, KAT500 and KPA500 when you power on the K3S ?

Thanks either way, Leroy AB7CE

Re: K3S master power?

I use a rigrunner 4010S that has 10 outlets and one that, when it detects a current draw from turning on the K3, turns on all the others.

Cheers,

Doesn't that present a problem? I thought the KAT500 was supposed to be powered up before turning on the K3, or has that somehow been changed and I am stuck in the past?

Re: K3S master power?

I must admit that when field testing the kat500, turning on the k3 DID cause a real issue, not heard of any change to that.
However, the other day I turned the k3 on before I noticed the kat500 was not powered up.
Thinking, oh what the heck, I hit the power on and all was well.
Not wishing to create an issue, I powered both off and powered up in my normal way.
Does this mean it doesn't matter which is powered first?...i have no info to go by.
Perhaps Wayne may offer his thoughts, without his confirmation I will stick with my old method for now.

Yeah, that has been fixed but it worked before it was fixed.

I don't understand how that turns on the KPA500.

Re: K3S master power?

In reply to this post by Wes Stewart-2

If there way, I never saw it -- but I just tested it. Left the KAT500
off, powered up the K3S and no errors. Then powered on the KAT500 and
it all worked just fine. Guess I'll have to look back through the
"release notes" on the KAT500 firmware releases to see which one fixed
it.

Re: K3S master power?

MCU 4.93 / DSP 2.83, 10-16-2014

* KAT500 POWER-ON REMINDER ON K3 DISPLAY: If a powered-off KAT500 is pulling the auxBus signal low when the K3 is first turned on, "TURN ON KAT500" is displayed. Previously this condition would lock up the K3 without explanation.

Re: K3S master power?

Hmm. Never noticed this since I've always kept power on the KAT500. But it
does as it says...some of the time.

At my age, I'm not going to turn this into another time wasting science project,
but it seems to also depend on the state of the KPA500 (which the K3 weirdly
turns on and off with alternate power on cycles). And I think it's not
dependent on the ON/OFF state of the KAT500 but whether or not there is power
"applied" to the KAT500.

Re: K3S master power?

I just purchased my K3 line in the last month, and did not know about the
KAT turn on issue, nor did I see any documentation about turn on procedure.
So, from the first use I have turned on the K3 then the P3, KAT500 and
KPA500, with zero issues.

Since powering on my KX3 turns on the PX3 and KXPA100/KXAT100 by menu
selection, I assumed there was a similar menu option on the K3 line.

It seems not to be, at least I have not found it, but I would like it if it
did. Maybe it can be a firmware request?
